• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSIS351 - You do not have authorization for variant &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSIS351, which states "You do not have authorization for variant &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires access to a specific variant, but the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access that variant.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user lacks the necessary authorization object that grants access to the specific variant.
  Variant Ownership: The variant may be owned by another user, and the current user does not have permission to access it.
  Authorization Profile: The user's authorization profile may not include the required permissions for the report or transaction associated with the variant.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Variant Permissions:
  
  If the variant is owned by another user, the owner can share the variant with the current user by adjusting the variant's authorization settings.
  The owner can do this by going to the transaction where the variant is used, selecting the variant, and then adjusting the authorization settings to include the necessary users or roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or variants, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can review and adjust the authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Create a New Variant:
  
  If the current variant cannot be accessed due to authorization issues, consider creating a new variant that the user can access, provided they have the necessary permissions to do so.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to variants, such as S_PROGRAM (for program execution) and S_VARIANT (for variant access).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User maintenance
  PFCG: Role maintenance
  SU53: Display authorization check
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSIS351 error and gain access to the required variant.
